Sharing his Creation

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00618

With the kids being home every other day and at school the other days we have to get creative with what to do in the time between school. Andy has spent a lot of time in front of a screen and I suggested that he do something else and he said that he had no projects to work on. I reminded him that he had Emmett’s house from The LEGO Movie. He had started that with one of his friends almost a year ago and was saving it for the friend to come back. I told him that he should just build it and enjoy it because we don’t know when that friend can come back. So, he spent the afternoon building and not on screens. Then he showed everyone how it worked right before bed. He was very proud of his work. I may have to bring in the giant LEGO container for him to use. He likes being able to make whatever he wants and not so much look at the instructions.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
